Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

He probably never dreamed that the person in front of him would dare to speak to him like that.

Chu Yinnan was utterly disappointed in Chu Tian. Looking at Chu Tian's appearance, she felt truly saddened, for she had always believed that her father had loved her for even a moment.

"If Father doesn't interfere in Yin Ge's matter, Yin Nan won't say anything. However, Father will lose us because of this." After saying this, Chu Yin Nan left without looking back.

Zhang hid to the side and waited until Chu Yinnan had walked far away before slowly emerging from the side.

She heard every word Chu Yinnan said, so it seems this time it's true, and Chu Yingge really can't escape this calamity.

……

Chu Yingge was, after all, the Seventh Prince's Consort, so even though she went to the Heavenly Prison, the cell she stayed in was clean and tidy. Until the matter of Lin Wan was investigated, Chu Yingge would have to spend her time in the cell.

For Chu Yingge, this was simply a change of living environment.

Sitting in her cell, Chu Yingge lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected.

She knew very well that although her life was relatively comfortable now, she would inevitably suffer physical pain once the interrogation began.

For someone who had undergone special training in the 21st century, Chu Yingge felt no fear of the impending punishment. What truly worried her was Mu Ziyuan.

She knew Mu Ziyuan's temper very well. If Mu Ziyuan found out that he had been treated inhumanely in prison, he would definitely do something outrageous in a fit of anger.

What they are about to do will be bloody, and one wrong move could lead to utter ruin. They must not expose even the slightest weakness to the enemy without absolute certainty.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." A voice reached her ears, and Chu Yingge looked up to see a middle-aged man standing at the door of the prison cell.

Chu Yingge got up from her seat, walked to the cell door, and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"Is the Princess comfortable with her accommodations?" the middle-aged man asked ingratiatingly.

Chu Yingge frowned: "Whether you get used to it or not, it's fine. Is there anything else?"

"Princess, please feel free to make any requests. As long as you don't leave the prison, I will do my best to fulfill them." The middle-aged man said with a hint of flattery.

Chu Yingge was slightly puzzled, but she didn't say anything more. She thought it was because of the title of Princess Consort that these people didn't dare to act recklessly!

"It's alright, this environment is good enough for me."

"I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied. I'll get back to my work now." With that, the middle-aged man left.

Chu Yingge was filled with questions. Weren't people in ancient times always prone to abandoning their followers when the tree falls from grace? How come she still had people helping her when she was down on her luck?

Could it be that someone is pulling strings for her?

Outside the gates of the prison, Mu Zi waited anxiously.

The middle-aged man who had been standing in front of Chu Yinge's cell rushed over as soon as he saw Mu Zi. He was the person in charge of this cell and also one of Mu Ziyuan's men.

Upon seeing Mu Zi, the fawning smile on his face instantly turned serious.

"The arrangements for the Princess Consort have been made. Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"

"That's all for now. Take good care of the princess and make sure you don't reveal your identity," Mu Zi instructed.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Understood, I will make the arrangements."

"That's good." Mu Zi looked around warily to make sure no one was paying attention to them before giving a few more instructions and leaving the prison gate.

……

In the Seventh Prince's Mansion,

Guozi waited in the yard for Muzi to return, having heard early that morning that Muzi was going to the prison.

A day has passed, and I wonder how her young mistress is doing in the prison? Is she suffering? Is it cold in the prison? Is her body able to withstand it?

A head full of questions lingered in Guozi's mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

The moment Mu Zi stepped into the Prince's mansion, Guo Zi pulled her aside.

"Did you see my young lady? How is she? Is she settling in? Is she injured?" Guozi bombarded her with a series of questions.

Mu Zi was somewhat taken aback. With so many questions, which one was he supposed to answer?

"Can you ask one question at a time? How am I supposed to know which one to answer first when you ask so many at once?"

"You..." Guozi's face clearly showed anger, but she didn't lash out in the end. She still needed to rely on Muzi to find out about her young lady.

"Okay, I'll ask you one question at a time. Did you see the young lady?"

"Yes."

"Is the young lady injured?"

"No."

"That……"

"Alright, stop asking." Mu Zi interrupted Guo Zi.

Guozi knew he was worried about the princess, but he couldn't afford to panic, especially at this time.

The princess is already in prison; the one who should be most worried now is the prince.

"Don't worry, the princess will be fine. We have taken care of everything."

"Okay." Although Guozi wanted to say something, she couldn't utter a single word and could only walk away dejectedly.

Seeing Guozi like this, Mu Zi felt very sad, but given the current situation, they had no choice but to feel sad.

Chu Yinnan has now completely lost faith in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she has no expectation that the Prime Minister's Mansion can do anything about Chu Yingge's matter.

Arriving at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Chu Yinnan sighed and strode inside.

Chu Yinnan originally wanted to discuss with Mu Ziyuan how to rescue Chu Yingge, but the answer she received was that Mu Ziyuan was busy and did not see guests.

Such an answer might fool others, but it's really not acceptable to use it to get rid of Chu Yinnan.

Standing at the door of the study, looking at the tightly closed door, Chu Yinnan felt a surge of anger.

He had initially thought that the Seventh Prince was deeply in love with Chu Yingge, which was why he hadn't interfered in Chu Yingge's affairs. But now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Mu Zi stood aside and scratched his head. His lord was the one who was most aggrieved, but no one else understood.

The feeling of wanting to save someone but being unable to is something no one can truly understand.

"Second Young Master, our Prince will not stand idly by regarding the Princess Consort's matter. You should go back for now."

“Go back? Impossible, unless His Highness agrees to see me,” Chu Yinnan said stubbornly.

He only has Chu Yingge as family now, so he can't afford to lose her no matter what. If it weren't for his lack of ability, he would have gone to rescue her himself, instead of waiting here for others to pity him.

Chu Yinnan's stubbornness was somewhat similar to Chu Yingge's personality; they truly were siblings. Mu Zi thought to herself, and could only shake her head helplessly.

At this critical juncture, anyone who is worried about the princess will probably come to make things difficult for the prince. Hopefully, the prince can hold on.

The real torment is never the injustice done to others, but the heart that can only stand by and watch.
